A Letter To My "Baby" Brothers

Because I know I don't tell you this enough.

A Letter To My "Baby" Brothers
Cierra

To My Little Brothers,

Let me start by saying I'm so proud of the young men you're both becoming. You're both growing up so fast and every time you guys call me and tell me what you're doing in school I can't help but think that you're both getting so big and smart. I wish I would've been half as amazing as you guys are when I was your age.

I want to thank both of you for being my best friends. We argue and disagree about some things, but at the end of the day I know that I can trust you both with my life and that means more to me than any argument. Siblings fight and argue, but I don't personally know too many that can forgive and forget as quick as we do.

I want to thank you for all the memories you've given me. From frosting cookies at Christmas time to going to the lake and swimming for hours every summer, I want you to know that I remember all of our times together. I remember bringing my girlfriend home for the first time and you guys gushing over her and making sure you guys knew she was right for me.

I want to also thank you for being there for me when grandma died. I came to see you guys after it happened and you both hugged me and we cried together. We lost a big part of our lives that day and I wasn't expecting to break down as much as I did, but you boys held me together like glue and made sure I knew that I was going to be okay even if I didn't feel like it at the time.

Speaking of grandma, thank you both for keeping her spirit alive and talking to me about her every time I see you. Thank you for telling me stories and memories you have with her. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one that still misses her like crazy.

Thank you for always making me laugh. You know how to make me double over and laugh so hard that it feels like I just did a bunch of ab workouts. Between our inside jokes and just random stuff we do, you always know how to make me laugh so hard that I cry.

Now I want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry I don't see you both as often as I used to, but I promise once I graduate school I'll come visit more often. I love the weekends that you guys come up and stay the night with me. We always have so much fun playing games, going to the park, and watching movies. I think we could lay on the floor and just stare at the ceiling and have a good time. Thank you for all the good times.

Thank you for all the support you've given me over the years. Whenever I tell you both I want to do something, you constantly push me to achieve my goals. You may not realize it, but you boys inspire me to keep going and pushing to be the woman I want to be. I know that you look up to me and I want to be the best big sister that I can possibly be.

Lastly, I want to say that I love you. I love every little thing about you. Every flaw, every day, no matter what I love you. I love you both more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for everything, boys.

Love, Your Big Sister

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
